Put Your Eye Shadow to the Test
Most Eye shadows are made from mica powder, a colorful mineral base, mixed with a hardener such as clay. In general, eye shadow with higher clay to mica powder ratios are harder and do not blend easily. While eye shadow with lower clay to mica powder ratios are easy to apply and blend perfectly. Lower ratios are considered to be higher quality eye shadows because of the higher content of the colorful mineral base, mica powder. A good indicator to determine if you have a quality eye shadow is the brush test. To perform the brush test simply try to apply your eye shadow with a brush. If your Eye Shadow is easy to apply with a brush than you have a quality eye shadow. If your eye shadow does not apply well, perhaps its time to change your product.
